P90X Reviews – Day 46
Kenpo-X – Seeing that it’s New Year’s Eve, I am calling it a cheat day (nutrition) so I decided to do what I did last week and swap yoga-x with kenpo-x. I will make up the first 45 minutes of yoga-x on Saturday so I am not completely abandoning it. I am not sure if there are any benefits of doing a cardio-type workout on the days you cheat but I know I will feel better about myself if I do. Some people think kenpo-x is too easy and maybe I will think that some day but as of now, I consider it a great cardio workout. I bring a lot of intensity to this workout and I almost wish I could bring the same amount of intensity to the others but I know that will come with time.
ARX – I missed yesterday’s ab ripper x workout so I made it up today. I am still unable to complete this routine but I should be able to by the end of 90 days. I am not sure how many other people struggle with this routine but I know I do and consider it the toughest workout of all P90X workouts. I think the biggest reason why I struggle so much with this is the size and weight of my legs. I have always had thick legs, my day 1 thigh measurements confirm this (27 ½ inches). My legs are much smaller today (24 ¾) which also means they are lighter. Most of the ARX exercises require you to lift your legs up off the ground. On a positive note, the weight of my legs is making my abdomen muscles work much harder than someone that has smaller lighter legs.
Nutrition – I met up with a friend last night for a couple of drinks so needless to say I exceeded my calorie intake with empty calories. My goal is to finish the second half of this program very strong and that will require a decent amount of discipline as far as nutrition goes.
Have a fun and safe New Year!
